I agree that both the new and the old name should be accepted, but I am
not sure it is worth the trouble. In the interest of serving users, I
think it is better if we do the rename and inconvenience others a tiny
bit. I would say that the current name "Oriya" makes it hard to find
the Emacs facilities of Odia support harder to find/learn as the user
might not think about searching for the old name. Also, I believe the
rename will give a certain empowerment to the native speakers; much like
the renaming of cities and towns that has happened/is happening now in
India.
